Watch: Shubman Gill’s Jaw-Dropping Six in Ahmedabad Stadium

In a thrilling encounter at the Narendra Modi Stadium during Match 17 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Shubman Gill once again proved his mettle as he led his team, GT, with an exceptional performance. Gill showcased his leadership prowess by steering GT to an impressive total of 199/4 in 20 overs, highlighting his batting prowess and his knack for leading his team to victory.

His unbeaten knock of 89 runs off just 48 balls was a testament to his skill and composure under pressure. Gill’s innings comprised six boundaries and four maximums, but it was one particular shot that left the crowd in awe.

In the 13th over, facing the challenge of Kagiso Rabada, Gill exhibited sheer brilliance as he dispatched a delivery for a magnificent straight six. Despite Rabada’s quality bowling, Gill executed the shot flawlessly with impeccable technique, sending the ball soaring over the ropes. The stylish right-hander even paused to savor the moment, holding his pose after striking the ball with precision.

Gill’s stellar performance was complemented by contributions from Sai Sudharsan, who scored 19 off 33 deliveries, and Rahul Tewatia, who played a quickfire innings of 23 runs from just 8 balls. The return of Kane Williamson to the IPL saw him adding a valuable 26 runs from 22 deliveries to the team’s total.

On the bowling front, GT’s bowlers managed to contain the opposition with Kagiso Rabada claiming two wickets, while Harpreet Brar and Harshal Patel chipped in with a wicket each. Despite a reasonable batting pitch in Ahmedabad, GT’s bowlers displayed control to restrict the opposition.
